Even when hit by shells and water splashes on board the ship, he remained motionless, using binoculars to confirm the enemy fleet, and then fired shells at the Baltic Fleet, destroying it. There are also stories and pictures of this. Later, many high-ranking military officers in Japan owned these binoculars, and they soon became the binoculars of choice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Condition] There is some deterioration over time, such as small scratches and areas where the paint has thinned, but the telephoto operation is smooth and unimpeded.
